First-time DnD player and poster looking for advice. Currently a Level 3 College of Lore Bard. A relatively small party with me, a Twilight Domain Cleric and Hexblade Warlock. We're still low level, but noticing combats have been a slog as I've been playing mainly buff and leaving it to the other two.
I know it goes against "standard" bard practices but was thinking of trying to find ways to take some more combat-focused spells vs party buffs. At Level 4 I was wondering about taking the Magical Initiate Sorcerer feat instead of ASI or a buff feat since there would be some nice overlap between charisma-based spellcasting while not stepping on the toes of our Warlock. What do you guys think?
In addition what cantrips and spells would you recommend if I do take this feat. My bard currently has Mage Hand, Message, Vicious Mockery, Dissonant Whispers, Healing Word, Heat Metal and Suggestion.
